Template:Character Data

Documentation

This template is used to place character info on a Battlestar Wiki article.

Genealogy Extension Features

This template integrates with Extension:Genealogy. To ensure family trees work correctly, use the "gen_" parameters to provide "clean" data (page names only, no icons or extra text).

• gender: M or F. Required for correct tree rendering.
• gen_parents: A comma-separated list of exact Page Names for the parents (e.g. Joseph Adama, Shannon Adama).
• gen_birthdate / gen_death: A clean year or date (e.g. 69 BCH) without extra text like "approx" or "(31YR)".
